Full job description

A growing and fast-paced organization in West Edmonton (fully in office) is looking for an experienced accounting leader to step into a newly created Assistant Controller role. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the day-to-day operations while also helping improve processes, support leadership, and guide a high-performing accounting team.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity where you’ll oversee core accounting functions including Payroll, AP, AR, and Corporate Accounting while partnering closely with senior finance leadership. The environment is busy, evolving, and collaborative, with plenty of opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead and support supervisors across Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Corporate Accounting
Oversee day-to-day accounting operations and ensure smooth month-end close processes
Review reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and financial reporting for accuracy and completeness
Manage fixed assets, debt schedules, and transactional accounting activities
Support audit readiness, year-end activities, and compliance requirements
Review GST/HST/PST filings and assist with regulatory and tax-related matters
Help strengthen internal controls, policies, and accounting procedures
Drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and system efficiencies
Provide mentorship, guidance, and leadership to the accounting team
Act as a key resource for escalations, problem-solving, and operational finance support

What We’re Looking For

7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership experience managing accounting teams
CPA designation is considered a very strong asset
Strong background in full-cycle accounting and month-end close
Experience overseeing AP, AR, Payroll, and operational accounting functions
Experience with ERP systems such as Eclipse or similar platforms is an asset
Background in construction, heavy industry, manufacturing, or project-based environments is beneficial but not required

At Aplin — together with our brands CompuStaff, Impact Recruitment, and Vantix Systems — we connect great people with great organizations across North America.
